family nurse partnership programme

What is it?
A scheme already used in America that provides intensive support to deprived first-time young mothers and their babies to try to prevent future problems linked to social exclusion.

Why is it different from other schemes to help poor parents?
The partnership starts very early - ideally about 16 weeks into a pregnancy. It is based around the idea that pregnancy and the birth of a child represent a "magic moment" of opportunity when parents are particularly open to receiving support and help, even if they normally shun state services.

What does the partnership involve?
Mothers who agree to join are assigned a health visitor who sees them regularly - weekly at first, then fortnightly - and supports them to boost their health in pregnancy, and then to encourage their attachment to their new baby and help with parenting skills. It draws on neurological research showing how pregnancy and the very early years are vital to a child's development, with early bonding affecting the way the brain is wired.

Does it really work?
Research suggests it does, though some say the lack of decent universal health and social services in the US means offering poor women intense support is bound to mean they do far better than others not on the scheme. Three trials in the US in 1977, 1987 and 1994 have produced strong evidence consistently showing the scheme led to improved prenatal health of mother and baby, fewer childhood injuries, fewer subsequent pregnancies and longer breaks between births, increased maternal employment and greater readiness for school. Researchers returned to children in the first trial when they reached 15 and found a 48% reduction in child abuse and neglect, a 59% reduction in arrests and a 90% cut in numbers receiving supervision orders.

Will it work here?
Ministers believe it will, although the scheme's pioneer, Professor David Olds, thinks English trials could produce less dramatic results because the UK's basic services to families are better than those in the US.

What are the downsides?
Some will see this targeting of at-risk unborn babies as dangerous because it could label infants as potential future criminals. There are also worries that with health visitor numbers falling, targeting such intense help on the very needy could lead to a poorer service for everyone else. Child abuse and postnatal depression, for example, cut across families in all social groups.

no win no fee medical

UK NO WIN NO FEE EXPLAINED

There are four ways in which to fund any legal case:-

• No Win No Fee.
  Prior to 1998 Legal Aid was available for qualifying applicants to make investigations and take proceedings for all personal injury claims. The Government at that time decided that the financial burden of legal aid was unacceptable and as a result Legal Aid was withdrawn for most personal injury claims and was replaced by the conditional fees scheme. Legal aid is still available for qualifying applicants to take legal action for medical negligence. A solicitor acting under a conditional fee agreement is only entitled to be paid his legal fee if he wins the case and that payment is made by the losers or their insurance company. If the case is lost then the solicitor will be unable to claim his fees from either the third party or his client and must effectively write them off however there is a risk of the client being ordered to pay the other side's costs as a result of which it is prudent to insure against that risk. The cost of that insurance policy is usually recoverable against the other side if the client wins the case.
• Legal Aid
  Legal Aid is still available to cover the cost of taking legal action for medical negligence subject to the applicant satisfying financial and other criteria required by the Legal Services Commission who administer the fund. It is not necessary to insure against losing as a costs order cannot usually be made against a legally aided claimant. In the event of the applicant not being eligible for legal aid then the claim can be made using the no win no fee scheme.
• Private Funding.
  Medical negligence claims are rarely funded privately as most claimants take advantage of the no win no fee scheme which reduces financial risk. If a medical negligence claim is funded privately and you win your claim and it is valued at more than �1,000 then the other side must pay your compensation and your legal costs, conversely if you lose the claim then you must pay the other side's legal costs. It is possible to take out insurance to cover the risk of losing the claim and being ordered to pay costs however insurance will not normally cover your own solicitor's legal costs which in the event of losing the case must be paid from your own pocket.
• Legal Expenses Insurance
  Some household and other insurance policies have legal expenses cover to pay for a solicitor to take legal action and this cover sometimes extends to pay for legal action for medical negligence claims.

Claims involving negligence by a healthcare provider are often complex and it is essential that you are properly represented to ensure that you establish liability and obtain maximum compensation. Our service is completely free to you and the solicitors that we recommend are accredited experts. If you would like free advice from a specialist solicitor then just complete the contact form and a member of The Law Society panel of medical negligence experts will contact you by telephone with no obligation.
